General
Prepare the dough: Combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Add warm water and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead dough for 6 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
Divide dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle on a lightly floured surface.
Assemble calzones: Spread pizza sauce over half of each dough circle. Add mozzarella and desired toppings, leaving space around the edges. Fold dough over the filling and press edges firmly to seal.
Place calzones in a greased Dutch oven, leaving space between each one. Cook with coals on top and bottom for 12–18 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted. Cook in batches if needed.
Serve warm.
Note: Vacuum-sealed mozzarella is shelf-stable and standard outfitter stock. Substitute with a dairy-free cheese block for trips longer than 4 days or in hot weather.
